A Path Appears: A Daughter Lost and Found

In this powerful scene from the Independent Lens documentary series A Path Appears, we go to Boston, as Nicholas Kristof joins Audrey Morrissey of anti-trafficking organization My Life My Choice to meet a family looking for their daughter Maria, whom they fear has fallen prey to sex traffickers and is living on the streets. Kristof and Morrissey help Maria’s parents search for her online.
